Break from Christmas: a delightful Art Nouveau border


Break from Christmas: an Art Nouveau border sculpted on one of the many anonymous, simple, but delightful late 19th- and early 20th-century buildings that sprang up in Milan in the prosperous, but turbulent, years after the Unification of Italy, not just replacing buildings in town, but creating whole new areas, which had been open fields until then....More......

Here's a delightful example located on a small side street perpendicular to Viale Certosa. I snapped the photo with you in mind on the 11th of December at 12:15 P.M.

To see the needlepoint/cross-stitch diagram I created out of this photo, see my blog dedicated to needlepoint: http://arsacupicturaestellae.blogspot.com/2010/12/milan-monday-17-art-nouveau-border.html

Enjoy!
